Bookbound Brigade reimagines protagonists from books who have lost their memories. Players lead a party of unique real and fictional heroes drawn from history and literature through a 2D side-scrolling Metroidvania adventure. The group moves in formation, fights hordes of monsters together, and restores order to this chaotic literary world.
Explore vast areas, battle enemies, backtrack to unlock paths, and solve puzzles while growing skills. Switch between party members' traits to tackle tough challenges. Hand-drawn visuals evoke classic book illustrations, setting it apart from pixel art norms. Metroidvania fans who enjoy party-based action and exploration will find a fresh indie twist here.
What if all the protagonists of books lost their memory?
Venture into their world and beat the hell out of historical and literary characters you studied in school!
Bookbound Brigade is a new take on the established Metroidvania genre where classic stories and well-known characters get the video game treatment, and where the player gets to lead a colorful bunch of real and fictional heroes through a 2D side-scrolling platform-adventure in a quest to battle overwhelming hordes of monsters and bring order back to the literary world.
• Explore, fight, backtrack, grow your skills and tackle challenging quests and puzzles, as in any Metroidvania game worthy of its name, but get ready for a twist…
• There is no single hero in Bookbound Brigade: you play as a party of unique characters, each with their own traits and skills, who move in formation and fight as one
• Expect to meet some familiar and less familiar faces, as all the characters, both playing and non-playing, are drawn from the pages of history and literature
• Enjoy distinctive hand-drawn visuals, inspired by book illustration from all time and straying far from the pixel art dominating the Metroidvania genre
